Overview

This Nutritional Sciences program from University of Minnesota is a one-year master’s degree focused on nutritional sciences with coursework that will provide advanced knowledge of nutritional sciences, awareness of practical applications of research, and the ability to interpret and communicate nutritional science concepts to broad audiences including content experts, educators, media, and the public, as well as educationally and culturally diverse audiences.

Degree's purpose
